In about a few hours from now, Apple Inc. is slated to announce the release details of the flagship Watch and rumour has it the company might unveil new laptops and iPads as well.

The company has made arrangements to air the entire program live on the internet for Apple fans who did not get invited to the event and are residing in different parts of the world.

The Apple event is scheduled to take place at "Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater", San Francisco, at local time 10:00 am PDT (22:30 PM IST), on 9 March. The event coverage will be streamed live on the company's official site (APPLE LIVE).

[Note: In order to view the live streaming of the launch event from the Apple website, users are required have Safari 5.1.10 or later on OS X v10.6.8 or later; and to view from smart devices like iPhone and iPad slates, they should have Safari on iOS 6.0 or later versions. Streaming via Apple TV requires second- or third-generation Apple TV with software 6.2 or later.]

Highlights of Apple Sprint Forward event:

As per numerous reports, Apple will most likely announce all details related to the Watch such as release date and pricing structure of the three variants of the flagship wearable.

But, many believe Apple may make some surprise announcements in the Spring Forward event as the company would not organise an event just to announce details of an already-unveiled device. It would have rather posted a press release and be done with it.

Word on the street is that Apple might launch a new series of MacBook Air, new edition Apple TV (set-to-box) and a giant 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2015).
